Sow and piglet factors determining variation of colostrum intake between and within litters
Animal, 2017 Colostrum intake has a short- and long-term beneficial impact on piglet performance and mortality. Sows’ colostrum production and piglets’ colostrum intake are limited and highly variable.

Evaluation of Factors Affecting Colostrum Quality and Quantity in Holstein Dairy Cattle
Animals, 2021 Simple Summary Administration of high-quality colostrum is vital for short and long-term health of newborn calves. It ensures the passive transfer of immunity and covers the high energy requirements during the first hours of calf’s life.

Analysis of immune-related microRNAs in cows and newborn calves
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : Bovine colostrum contains a high concentration of immune-related microRNAs (miRNAs) that are packaged in exosomes and are very stable. In this study, 5 immune-related miRNAs (miR-142-5p, miR-150, miR-155, miR-181a, and miR-223) were quantified in dam ...

Bovine colostrum and immune function after exercise [PDF]
, 2012 Strenuous and/or prolonged exercise causes transient perturbations in immune function. It is well accepted that this is one mechanism contributing to the higher occurrence of infection (e.g.

Determining Immunoglobulin Content of Bovine Colostrum and Factors Affecting the Outcome: A Review
Animals, 2021 Simple Summary Colostrum management plays an essential role in calf husbandry and strongly influences the calf. The immunoglobulin concentration denominates the quality of the colostrum, which is influenced by numerous factors. Therefore, the measurement

Estimating plasma volume in neonatal Holstein calves fed one or two feedings of a lacteal-based colostrum replacer using Evans blue dye and hematocrit values at various time points. [PDF]
, 2015 Twenty-eight Holstein calves were blocked by birth date and randomly assigned to one of two treatments to investigate the effect of colostrum replacer (CR) feeding regimen on plasma volume (PV).

Colostrum source and passive immunity transfer in dairy bull calves.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 Colostrum is essential for good neonate health; however, it is not known whether different calves absorb the nutrients from colostrum equally well. In this study, the absorption of protein, IgG, and γ-glutamyl transferase was compared in newborn dairy ...
